Teachers’ Day 2022: Date, history, significance, celebration of Shikshak Divas in India

Hindustan Times  

World Teachers’ Day is celebrated on October 5 but every country celebrates the day on different dates and in India, Teachers’ Day or Shikshak Divas marks the birthday of the country’s first Vice President who went on to become the second President of India, a scholar, philosopher, Bharat Ratna awardee, a highly-respected teacher and prolific statesman - Dr Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan, who said that “teachers should be the best minds in the country.” Owing to the Covid-19 pandemic and its subsequent lockdowns for two years, the schools were shut and Teachers' Day celebrations were given a miss with only virtual wishes and greetings as a perfect way to tell one's teachers you remember them but with the lockdowns lifted and students back in schools and colleges, the celebratory spirit to mark the day with great pomp and show is back in the air. Teachers’ Day 2022: Date, history, significance, celebration of Shikshak Divas Date: In India, Teachers’ Day is celebrated annually on September 5 to mark the birthday of the country’s former President, scholar, philosopher and Bharat Ratna awardee, Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who was born on this day in 1888. History and significance: When Dr Radhakrishan took the office of the second President of India in 1962, his students approached him to seek permission to celebrate September 5 as a special day. Dr Radhakrishnan instead made a request of them to observe September 5 as Teachers’ Day, to recognise the contribution of teachers to the society.
